WISCONSIN– Staff from The Daily Iowan traveled around Wisconsin on Tuesday to talk to voters and gauge priorities in the swing state. Staff attended three different polling locations in Elkhorn, Waukesha, and
Milwaukee. While attending each location, members conducted exit interviews, listening to the opinions and concerns of diverse voter sets. At the night’s end, the Associated Press called Wisconsin’s race, naming Donald Trump as the state’s winner and gaining them ten electoral votes.
Regardless of their political alignment, all voters interviewed felt nervous about the race’s outcome. The economy and immigration were key drivers of voters’ eagerness to attend the polls.
